  The SAP error message V4097, which states "Delivery number &1 replaced by internal number &2," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) processes, particularly when dealing with delivery documents. This message indicates that the system has replaced a delivery number that was inputted with an internal number for processing purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Issues: The delivery number you are trying to use may not be valid or may not exist in the system. This can happen if the number range for deliveries is not properly configured or if the number has been deleted or archived.
  Document Type Configuration: The document type associated with the delivery may not be set up correctly, leading to the system generating an internal number instead of accepting the user-defined number.
  User Input Error: The user may have entered an incorrect or non-existent delivery number, prompting the system to substitute it with an internal number.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Ranges: Verify the configuration of number ranges for delivery documents in the SAP system. Ensure that the number range is active and that the delivery number you are trying to use falls within the defined range.
  
  Transaction Code: SNRO (Number Range Objects)
  Look for the object related to deliveries (e.g., V_LIKP for delivery documents).

  Transaction Code: SPRO
  Navigate to: Sales and Distribution > Shipping and Transportation > Delivery > Define Delivery Document Types.
  
  
  
  Validate User Input: Ensure that the delivery number being entered is correct and exists in the system. You can check this by using transaction VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to see if the delivery number is valid.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Team: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to investigate further, especially if there are underlying configuration issues or if the number range needs to be adjusted.
